While the tooltip makes no mention of this, you will receive the 20 Rage/150 Mana bonus if you achieve a killing blow on an opponent in PvP as well.

This drops off Ragnaros with a fairly low drop rate. If it does drop, it will drop independent of Rag's normal loot table (meaning you get an extra epic).

This is a great weapon for a warrior in battlegrounds. This weapon really shines when you have a dedicated healer so you can plow through people without stopping (generating rage each kill).

Comment by kniteshift

Drops off Ragnaros, and is a pretty great axe overall in pve, and most beneficial in pvp for a warrior, due to +5% axe talent they can spec in.

I wouldn't have any other class than a warrior take this, unless the warriors in the raid didn't want it. Why? Simply put, because 150 mana is almost non-existant when compared to 20 rage.

Comment by Wow14

I agree here. 20 rage is a lot more than 150 mana. It's best for warriors, if no warriors want it it should go to a paladin then an enchantment shaman.

Comment by Taiyoumaru

As a paladin I'd like to have it for my greedy little self but if a fury/arms warrior would want it, I'd pass. There's alot of other great 2handers for paladins out there anyway. It looks very good tho. As a paladin I wouldn't just look for raw damage myself as getting items with great dps but otherwise statless isn't as efficient.

Ryyz: The damage alone on the weapon makes it ideal for every class that can use it, that and the bonus attack power that it gives.

However, I stick with what I have said. 20 rage for a warrior, according to what I've seen, is equal to basically 2 thirds of a mortal strike, to a revenge, rend, overpower, heroic strike, and so on. I'm not doubting what you're saying though regarding paladins.

And regarding an enhancement shaman, personally I'd prefer something with a proc on it (like Ragnaros's hand, or just about anything with a Chance on hit) and some stats on it. The possibility of having 3 of those procs, okay, 2 of those procs in a row is fun to think of. But hey: high enough damage on a weapon works as well to consider it windfury material.

Funny how they think that 150 mana is in some way proportional to 20 rage.

Comment by rakashu

Honestly I think this is one of the best procs that has ever been implemented in the game, as far as pvp is concerned. The proc on it for warriors was absolutely insane. I remember running through wsg games and just destroying people with this sick axe.

It was also really insane in low level instances with 54+ mobs (like brd). As it would proc almost every single mob in there, giving you almost infinite rage through out the entire run.

I really wish they would have had implemented a similiar weapon to this in BC.

Spinal reaper, Hoo!.... just not the same..

Comment by switch89a

does the proc apply to killing blows with a ranged weapon?

Comment by tidus4eva

Can you enchant this weapon with a glow? Or is the purple haze all you get?

Comment by Shikahn

Interesting.. anyone considered dual-wielding two of these puppies in WoTLK for a level 60 warrior with Titan's Grip for +40 rage per kill? (aware that by 69 you're better off with something entirely different for pvp, or simply going straight to 70), but, could be incredibly fun for levelling through outland :P

Comment by Skullhawk13

-.- Wheres runic power on this baby?

Comment by xris

Spinal Reaper, HOOOO!

Comment by Raligier

Yeah... what Skullhawk said... wheres the Runic power >.> id use this all the time on my DPS...

Comment by mathewZ

SPINAL REAPER.....*sigh* its just not the same

Comment by annian

If only Death knights could use this weapon effectively. If they could, i bet that place would be swarmed with lvl 60 death knights looking for a group.

Comment by LatroVir

For the rather peculiar soul that likes the idea of level 60 AV Twinks... this would make a rather interesting set of weapons for Titan's Grip Warriors.

Course the curiousity would be if a KB would make two sets of these proc, thereby granting 40 rage. Guess we will never know...

Comment by gamerunknown

Should yield a percentage of base mana instead :p

Edit: Because the rage is a flat amount, making it equally useful at max level (though supremely unlikely to be used due to the low dps).

I was unable to locate anything else, or think of anything else that may fit to this set. If you want me to add to this set, please upvote or downvote this post and I will come check to see what has been posted. Keep in mind that these pieces are all leather. This list needs some Head and Back slot ideas.

Thanks for any input to help add (or remove) any of the items on this list.

Comment by Runemauler

It's most distinguishing feature is, of course, that it blocks the visual effects of enchants. So; you don't have to look at that god-awfulLandslide visual. Though many 2h Axes look as though they should block-out enchant visuals, very few actually do. Making this Axe a rare treat!

The hard part is getting it to drop! I downed Rag every week, without fail, for about a year and a half. I have seen it once.
